New from me: The internet is built on sameness. People hawk the same stuff, use the same music, write the same SEO articles. Now the aesthetics and modes of the web have escape into the real world.

If you thought your feeds were derivative, wait until you see dupes:

Getting copied is devastating — but not necessarily illegal. Who owns what in an era of unprecedented mass consumption?

the concept of your ideological nemesis being a satire outlet who made a movie called “Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile”

Lawrence Hurley @lawrencehurley.bsky.social · 17h

Alex Jones has asked the Supreme Court to immediately put his almost $1.5 billion defamation judgment on hold, citing the imminent threat of InfoWars being handed over to The Onion.

If there isn't a stay, "InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed," the filing says.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

No death threats pls but IMO Sympathy is a Knife is the best song on Brat and Actually Romantic is the best song on Life of a Showgirl. And if you think of Actually Romantic as coming from the perspective of the person Charli XCX constructed in her mind and is feeling weird about it all makes sense!

I’ve still not fully processed our new reality where official government accounts — during a government shutdown!!!— are starting Twitter beef with private citizens, @ing them, and making graphics of their social media posts to respond to. The Poster administration.

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves
